I agree with the last comment. Eating the poems is suggests internalizing the thoughts and beauty contained in poems--perhaps even obtaining nurishment from them. The librarian is a rule enforcer, she's be happier if he read the books and was not affected by them.

This is a great poem symbolising the mans dislike for poetry, when this hatred is released he become a mindless poem eating machine

everyone seems to think the guy is causing a ruckus in the liobrary but my thoughts are tht he has a dislike for literature and istearing it up and the dogs represent the librarians sadness and fury...as her sadness increase so does the dogs reaction...and the ending i think makes him think of all thebooks he can tear up.....my mother thought of the book bannings in the 30's...it seems very plausible

I believe the reference to the dogs is refering to the animal that is unleashed as he devours the poetry. Consuming the poetry has brought him to this snimal-like, spontaneous state of mind that he refers to as being "a new man".
